All successful applicants must be available to attend the launch event.

WORLD OF COFFEE, Europe’s biggest and most exciting coffee event, is coming to Dublin in June 2016 and will attract up to 10,000 coffee professionals from over 100 countries around the world to the city for a four-day celebration of coffee.

The show, which is organised by Speciality Coffee Association of Europe (SCAE), will include the prestigious World Barista Championship 2016 along with a 10,000sq.ft exhibition featuring the international coffee community’s top suppliers, plus conferences, seminars, educational programmes and fringe events.

In preparation for the event at the RDS, Dublin on 22-25 June 2016, SCAE Ireland is launching an innovative new programme to shine a spotlight on Dublin’s best coffee providers. The new World of Coffee Ambassadors’ Club will feature the top 100 cafés, restaurants, hotels and bars serving coffee in the capital, and support them through a range of training and marketing initiatives.

Become a World of Coffee Ambassador

With the support of DublinTown, SCAE Ireland is calling on hospitality operators across Dublin to apply to become a World of Coffee Ambassador and help promote coffee excellence in the city.

Training packs will also be provided to help educate additional team members in participating outlets.

Introducing Your Business to the World

The 100 businesses taking part in the programme will be promoted in a World of Coffee 2016 booklet and mobile app which will showcase the city’s best coffee locations. The booklet will be distributed to all visitors at the show and also circulated nationwide through media partners.
